Run for the Athletes Sunset 5K

August 13, 2012

If you didn't already get the invitation on our Facebook page we hope you can help us volunteer at the Run for the Athletes Sunset 5K in Aurora on Wednesday, which benefits Special Olympics. Anyone who is participating will be able to leave practice at 4:30 on Wednesday. Our team will be cheering for the runners and it would be great if people could make signs as well. You will need a ride to and from Blackberry Farm in Aurora.

Congrats to Our Runner and Sportsmanship Winner of the Week

Our Runner of the Week was Ryan Pizzo, who ran the 5-mile, twisty, hilly run to the forest preserve on Van Emmon after spending a few weeks on vacation. Coach Miller asked him halfway through if he wanted to turn around but he said he wanted to prove to himself that he could do it. That's great dedication.

Our winner of the Sportsmanship Award was Meredith Hoffman who is always enthusiastic and cheers on her teammates. On our run to Heartland last week she spent the entire run cheering on a single runner and got that runner to run much further than she had before.

Congratulations, Ryan and Meredith!

Don't you still have he page from the summer with every1s names?

User Comment Coach Miller on August 14, 2012

Alexis, you can see a list of who ran the last time trial under the Results/Records section. That wasn't our whole team, though. The Fox Trot Invite is on Labor Day weekend because that was the only weekend many schools had free.

User Comment Coach Miller on August 13, 2012

There's no movie night this year because it conflicted with the 5k.
